When asked what she likes best about civil engineering, she said: “I love that civil engineering is an industry that is very people oriented and excellent for a people person like myself. I also enjoy that nearly all civil projects affect society on a daily basis whether it be through the buildings we work in, the roads we drive on, or the construction projects we can hear out our windows in the early morning. But as a whole, I appreciate how civil engineering is a discipline that works for the benefit of people.”
